I have really been getting to know Chulucanas better over the last week. It really is a very beautiful place.  The surrounding area is especially amazing with flowing rivers and stunning views of the Andes.  We just love going into these towns that are still all dirt roads which we share mainly with donkeys and horses and drinking chicha the local drink and chatting to the people who live there.  They are incredibly poor but I think they have the best land and they are almost always so willing to chat with us.

Chulucanas is known as the “Tierra de Mango y Limon” or the land of the mango and lime and we have been enjoying both these fruits daily as they are so cheap.  On the weekend we had the amazing experience of visiting a mango farm.  The land belongs to one of Martin’s cousins and we walked there through rivers.  When we got there we were able to pick up mangos off the ground and just eat them then and there.  It was unbelievable.

Here is Nina and I delighting in the mangos.
